Don't forget you need the mid pto,hydraulic lift cyinder and controls. When i had my 955 i almost sold the deck, until the guy realize he didn't have these parts. So sold it with the tractor when i sold the tractor.

Art why would you not seperate one from a tractor? I have one that came with the 755 I bought last year but don't plan on using it since I'll probably never have more than 1/4 acre of grass total at the most. I took it off my tractor and just have it stored for now until I get around to selling it.

You might want to consider going with a 3-point hitch mounted unit like a Woods with rear discharge. They do a better job mowing and you can cover more ground. The resale is also much better since they fit any tractor with a 3-point hitch not just one model. They also go on and off much easier. The new one even fit a quick hitch. I see used ones on the market that still bring good money.

One on EBay right now

As I said before they come up time to time.

I still have my JD 60 deck that came off my JD650. It is in good condition. I was thinking $250 for the deck. I also have the electric clutch and front drive. Is that something you want too? I'm in north central Illinois.
